Bradford was sentenced to 20 years on the aggravated assault charge. He is already serving a 20-year sentence for armed robbery and sexual battery. Hinds County Circuit Court Judge William Gowan ordered 15 years of the new sentence to run concurrently, with the last five years tacked to the end of his sentence, which will total 25 years, court officials said.
